A/N: Another slightly shorter chapter, but I hope it's good enough! I'm glad people liked the Enyo bit of the last chapter – that was tough to organize, and I was worried it wouldn't come out correctly. However, my fears were taken away because of you awesome reviewers. : ) Thanks guys!

I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"But how do we know she's not going to betray us?" called one of the campers from Ares. "She worked for the Titan side!"

"Once upon a time, her MOTHER worked for the first Titan War."

"And where was Enyo this summer?" asked a kid from the Hermes cabin. "I mean, I know a lot of the smaller gods went to the side of the Titans, but why didn't anyone call on Enyo?"

"Travis, please, do not go accusing a goddess of –"

"He's right, Chiron!" a taller boy, sitting alone but with a few grapes in his hands, stood. "We've lost friends, siblings, twins in this war. How can we accept someone who's mother –"

"Stop!" Piper's voice rang out across the camp fire. "Despite the fact that Reyna's mother may or may not have done horrible things in the past, it doesn't change the fact that Reyna's just a kid here, like all of us, who gets punished for things the gods do." The camp began to settle, and Reyna felt like fewer people were preparing to draw their swords and kill her on sight.

Percy stood next to Reyna. "Piper's right. My father's caused death after death, forced Agamemnon to kill his own daughter as a sacrifice –" He paused, clearly struggling with what he was saying. "Among other things. You people all saw what I did to save the world, alongside Annabeth, whose mother has done some pretty awful things as well, and alongside Chiron, whose father, well…" He looked over at Chiron, who nodded. "Chiron's father was the Titan we were all fighting to destroy." As the news settled over the camp, and campers began to understand the magnitude of Percy's words, Reyna just stood there without half a clue of what was going on. Vague, fragmented ideas of Greek mythology flitted through her mind, but each name seemed wrong someone, like the titles of characters in a book were replaced with others. "I guess what I'm trying to say that I hope all of you know that judging the children of a god is kind of dumb, seeing as the people who helped save us all were the children of Kronos." He shrugged, sat down, and then the entire camp settled.

Piper sat as well, shooting a smile in Reyna's direction.

"Thank you for that, Percy," said Reyna.

"So, back to the prophecy," said Chiron.

Rachel stepped forward again, all eyes on her. "Right, of course. Well, Reyna has a lot on her plate. She has to…" Her words trailed and her eyes shut as she lost her balance and collapsed into the arms of two campers who rushed toward her to catch her. Another camper returned with a bronze stool and sat it behind her as the others lowered her into the chair.

Reyna nearly fell over as she saw glowing green light explode from the eyes of the Oracle, and then Rachel began to speak.

"Child of war's queen, beware the earth,

The giants' revenge the seven shall birth,

The forge and the dove shall break the cage,

And death unleash through Hera's rage."

Reyna watched as Rachel collapsed into the arms of the campers, who took her back to her seat and made their effort to revive her.

"Does that usually happen?" asked Piper, her voice quieter and much more timid than it had been before, when she had commanded the whole camp.

"Yeah," said Drew, voice poisoned with vindictive sarcasm, "we have an epidemic of green light. Don't get too close or you'll get stuck with it."

"Oh, Drew, stop being so annoying, it's not a good look for you," said Percy. "Piper's right. This is a weird prophecy. Why do we want to set Hera free if it's unleashing death or something? We don't want any more people to die – we've had enough of that." Percy rolled his eyes. "And, if you ask me, keeping Hera quiet is a good thing."

Chiron sighed and shot Percy a look. "I know you have quite the personal vendetta against Hera, Percy, but need I remind you of the dangers of provoking such a volatile goddess?"

"Yeah," said Nyssa, "she threw our father off Olympus just because he's ugly."

"Looks like those genes got passed down," said Drew with a snicker.

"Shut up," snapped Nyssa. "We have more important things to think about. Why do we have to beware the earth? And the giants' revenge? What could be so powerful that it could kidnap the queen of the gods?"

Percy and Chiron looked at each other, but even though Reyna was inches from both of them, she had no idea what was happening.

"Well," said Percy, "it's obviously Reyna's quest. She's got to be the child of war's queen. So, Reyna – you can pick two people to go with you."

"Well, duh," called Travis, "it's you, Percy. You're the savior of the world and stuff. You always complete all quests with flying colors."

Percy laughed. "Yeah, right, like Hera wants me to have anything to do with this. She'd kill me the second she saw me – hates me because of Annabeth and all. And besides, tomorrow morning I'm leaving to look for Annabeth. I know her better than anyone – I'm the most likely person to find her after all of this. I'll see if I can find her, then we'll get her brain to help us get this figured out."

Piper stood. "It's all connected," she said. "You all see that, right?"

The resounding silence seemed to worry her slightly. "You don't see that. Okay. Well, I mean, Annabeth's gone, Reyna's just randomly here. It's got to be connected."

"If you're such a genius, then how is this happening?" asked Drew, folding her arms across her chest aggressively. Reyna really didn't like how much this girl enjoyed challenging Piper.

Piper just stared and frowned, not responding. She fiddled with her hands, looked away, and Reyna sent a glare over in Drew's direction.

"She's probably right," said Percy, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Piper, if everything's connected, I'll figure it out by looking at Annabeth's end. Knowing her, she's probably got it all figured out already. But I'm not going anywhere near Hera. That's not the kind of person I should have any contact with. And besides, go over the prophecy again. Nothing about a sea god there."

The camp began to murmur.

"I choose," said Reyna, commanding attention. "Forge and the dove. Those are Vul-I mean, Hephaestus' and Aphrodite's symbols, right?"

Nyssa sighed deeply. "Well, we're going to have some problems if you don't have someone from Hephaestus. You'll need air transport since the earth is apparently a problem."

"Another reason I'm going nowhere near this quest," Percy muttered next to Reyna.

"The flying chariot's broken," continued Nyssa, "and Percy's commandeered the Pegasi to look for Annabeth, so we're sort of out of options. If you want me to though, I'll go. I'm senior camper now that Jake's out of commission." She looked downtrodden, hopeless. "I might be able to get something prepared for us before we go, though."

Leo stood, looking right at Reyna. "It's me," he said simply. "I'm the one who's supposed to go." There was some chatter, but Leo's spark came back in his speech as he heard some people begin to fight his comment. "No, I know what to do. I've got an idea!"

Reyna looked at him for a few moments, trying to figure him out. There really was no reason to exclude Leo, and he'd been part of Reyna's memory-less life the whole time so far. "That sounds right, Leo. You've been by my side this whole time, why stop now?"

Leo lit up like a firework. "Really? I mean, yeah, of course. I can do that." He smiled a little brighter. "I can get you some transportation, I swear."

Reyna nodded. "Well, we've got the forge down. Now about the dove."

"I'll totally go," said Drew with a grin. "About time someone with a decent power got to go on a quest."

"Hey!" said Percy, looking upset.

"What decent power?" asked Reyna.

"Charmspeak. Watch." Drew turned to Clovis, mostly asleep on a log, and said, in a rich, deep voice that worried Reyna, "get up and sing to us, Clovis. You know you want to. Pick whatever song you like. Just dance."

Clovis, as if in a trance, stood and began to dance. "Got that boom ba doom boom bass, he got that super bass –"

"Clovis, stop!" exclaimed Piper. She turned to Drew. "That's horrible! Why would you make someone do whatever you want them to? It's taking away someone's autonomy."

"Ooh, big words from the new kid," Drew scoffed. "And what are your special powers, Piper? Scare people to death with your rat's nest of a hairstyle?"

Piper drew her breath and immediately seemed to regain the confidence and strength she had had beforehand. "You realize I got the vision of Hera, right? I'm supposed to do this!" There was a power and strength in her voice that gave her a higher power, an ability to convince others. It was not unlike Drew's, but it seemed less malicious in intent.

"Of course," said Drew, "because you're so skilled, Dumpster Queen."

"I'm the one who's supposed to go!"

Then suddenly something changed, something huge.

Piper had transformed. Dark hair in a perfect braid, makeup accenting her features in a subtle yet effective way. Her eyes were like gemstones glittering in the firelight, and Reyna simply couldn't take her eyes off of her.

Piper, looking horrified, drew her blade and looked at herself in its reflection, making a displeased, worried little noise Reyna was pretty sure she didn't know she'd made.

"What in the…?"

"You're gorgeous, Piper," said Reyna, unaware of the words leaving her mouth. "You're simply…Stunning."

Drew, on the other hand, was raving mad. "This is impossible!" Drew screeched. "How in the – she can't be – ugh!" she threw herself back onto the log she had been sitting on and looked as if someone had told her Christmas was cancelled for eternity.

"All hail Piper McLean," said Chiron, down on one knee, "daughter of Aphrodite, lady of the doves and goddess of love."

Piper still looked horrified. "Why?" she squeaked.

Reyna, out of the corner of her eye, saw Leo leave the campsite.

This would not be an easy few days.

Getting a place for Reyna to sleep wasn't particularly easy. Enyo, not having any children and not even being part of the discussion of redeeming the children of the minor gods and goddesses, never wanted a cabin.

Thus, Reyna had nowhere to sleep.

"You can bunk with me!" said Rachel. "It'll be fun, like a sleepover!"

Reyna, making her best effort to be kind, said, "I'm not sure you'll want me as a slumber party partner. I'm not the greatest sleeper." Reyna blinked. That was right. She was a fidgety sleeper, and remembered kicking someone as they slept next to each other. Unfortunately, she could not recall a name or a face.

"Hey!" said Rachel, a big grin on her face. "You remember something! That's good, isn't it?"

Reyna nodded, and allowed herself a smile, though it was much smaller than Rachels. "It is good."

Chiron walked into the living area of the Big House, where Reyna and Rachel were sitting.

"I've made up a guest bedroom for you," he said. "And I hope you enjoyed your hot chocolate."

Reyna looked down into her now empty cup. "I did, very much."

Reyna made her way into the little room with the bed made up for her, and slid under the covers. Sleep took her almost instantly, but there would be no dreamless rest for her that night

When Reyna slept, she dreamt of wolves. Wolves demanding help, wolves telling her what to do, but these wolves did not seem malicious. Opening her eyes to the scene before her, she began to recognize her surroundings. She was somewhere she knew.

"I know this spot," she said.

The wolf at the front of the pack eyed her. Of course you do. You came here, briefly, to train after losing something dear to you. You must restart again from here, begin you story a second time from this point.

"That's not fair!" countered Reyna.

Conquer or die: this is always and will always be our way. Do you suddenly have a problem with the laws of the ancients? The she-wolf stared at her, challenging her and asking her for her opinion at the same time. Reyna didn't fell as if there was any sense in rising to her challenge.

This wolf had guided her as a child, when she was young. Her name was Lupa, and she would fight for Reyna until Reyna gave up the fight. Reyna's resolve determined the outcome of this meeting.

She was struck with a strange feeling of abandonment as she studied the wolf. "You took me in," Reyna said quietly. "When – when I lost something." Reyna screwed her eyes shut, trying to bring a memory to the surface. "No – when I was lost."

She could not be weak. Reyna's strength was one of her most identifying characteristics – that was one thing she knew. This wolf would accept nothing less than the greatest strength Reyna could muster.

Yes, you were, once upon a time, said the wolf. And now you are again.

"And this time I am to find something. I have to find and rescue something…" Reyna paused, grasping for the information. "Someone."

The wolf nodded and the world faded to a vision of two giant spires rising from a surface on the ground, one encaging a distressed figure.

"Hera," said Reyna, entranced by the struggling goddess.

The she-wolf nodded. This is the place where Juno has been captured, where the enemy has decided to destroy the meaning of this place of ours. This is where demigods are claimed, where they become the fighters and warriors they are meant to be. They are turning this site into an abomination. The wolf looked into Reyna's eyes, and Reyna saw years and years of pain, struggle, and battle there. This wolf had lost many in training, and even more in war. Though Lupa would never admit it, she did not want to see Reyna lost. Do not let them take our sacred place. Stop her.

"Her? The person holding Juno is a her?" Reyna asked.

Lupa nodded. If Juno falls, our enemy will rise. We cannot allow this enemy to be victorious. Save the queen of the gods. Before we lose the option.

"I will, I swear," promised Reyna. "But tell me one thing – who am I?"

You are the leader of the pack, the younger sister always destined for greatness. said Lupa, a strange smile on her wolf face. Do not fail, daughter of Bellona.

Reyna woke to the feeling of a cold blade at her throat.
